Mallarme - Poems |

Witness those antient Empires of the Earth,
In highth of all thir flowing wealth dissolv'd:
But men endu'd with these have oft attain'd
In lowest poverty to highest deeds;
Gideon and Jephtha, and the
Shepherd

Whose off-spring on the Throne of Juda sat 440
So many Ages, and shall yet regain
That seat, and reign in Israel without end.

Made a sweet noise with games and with his laughter bright;
And the wan mother, aside this being the
livelong

Carolling joyously, coughed hoarsely all the night.
